Abstract: ABSTRACT. A test of the edge effect on predation of natural and artificial bird nests in the Cerrado. The Cerrado is still one of the most important ecosystems in Brazil, even though more than 50% of its area has been altered or converted to pastureland and plantations. Despite its intense degradation, few ecological processes that might affect its biodiversity have been evaluated. The goal of this study was to test the edge effect on the predation rates at natural and artificial nests, at the Ecological Stati… Show more

“…A previous study showed similar tendency for large eggs (quail eggs; França & Marini 2009a). Surprisingly, studies of natural nests in the same region found declining nest survival rates as the breeding season progressed (Borges & Marini 2010, Santos 2008.…”

“…In contrast, in some areas in the Cerrado, birds were the main predators (França et al 2009). Overall, predation in the Cerrado habitats tended to increase throughout the reproductive period (Borges & Marini 2010), decrease during nest development (França & Marini 2009b), and differ between habitats and microhabitats (França & Marini 2009a, Borges & Marini 2010. These studies show the importance of predation for population dynamics of neotropical birds and so experiments with artificial nests may be important to understand spatial and temporal patterns of reproductive success.…”
